A/E Term Contract for University of Mary Washington (Multiple Awards Anticipated)

The University of Mary Washington is soliciting proposals for a multiple-award term contract for architectural and engineering services, with proposals due November 20, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the eVA portal. A 45% small business participation goal applies to discretionary spending under the contract, and proposers must be registered eVA vendors carrying professional liability insurance.

The contract covers discrete, small-scale A/E services assigned through project orders on an as-needed basis, including evaluations, feasibility studies, preliminary and schematic designs, code compliance investigations, and construction documents for maintenance reserve projects and facility improvements at the Fredericksburg, Stafford, and King George campuses. The university will give heavy consideration to proposers with expertise in medical and healthcare education environments within VASCUPP higher education settings, along with experience in sustainability, historic structures, security systems, and data/audiovisual infrastructure.

The term is one year with three optional one-year renewals at the agency's discretion. The maximum cumulative fee is $10 million per contract term, with a maximum fee of $2.5 million for any single project. Fees will be set through negotiated memoranda of understanding that document acceptable labor rates by A/E classification and skill level, and project orders will be lump sum or hourly as the agency determines. The university anticipates multiple awards to the best-qualified firms and will interview three or more fully qualified proposers before making awards. The solicitation proceeds under Virginia's Construction and Professional Services Manual procedures.
